Jeff, Are you trying both server side validation and client-side validation? I.E. html:javascript formName="..." etc... What version of Struts are you using?

As for the /reg/registration action, that was a bit of a typo that I accidentally left in there from a trial and error session. The actual action should read like this: <action path="/reg/registration" forward="reg.step1"> </action> Also, the other actions would be more aptly named something like processStep1 instead of step1, but you get the gist. So the problem remains, next and previous work great but I get no validation between the pages. I did fix the page number not being set by adding a page to the form bean definition, this appears to work now and the DynaActionValidatorForm invokes the setPageFromDynaProperty method with the correct value. So half of the problem is fixed :) Its just the validation that remains. -jeff On Nov 21, 2004, at 9:27 PM, David G.
